#14 - Longest Stupid Story Riddle

There were once 3 brothers, one day on the way to their grandmothers funeral their car broke down.
Oh great, they all thought, and tried to fix the car but finally decided they had no idea what they were doing.
The middle and youngest brother teamed up and forced the eldest to walk in search of a house where they could use a telephone to call a local tow truck.
They were literally stranded out in the middle of nowhere-the landscape was barren and nondescript.
The eldest brother walked for ages until suddenly he appeared before a large victorian home. Everything was pink.
Thinking that this was a little strange, the brother peered down the road for possible neighbors, but he could see nothing at all.
The picket fence lining the yard was pink, as was the gate. The path to the house was pink, the porch was pink. The door was pink. The shudders were pink. EVERYTHING was pink.
He opened up the fence gate which screeched 'Piiiinnnkkk!!' as he walked the path his footsteps barked 'Pi-Pink Pi-Pink P-Pink!!'. As he walked the porch steps they groaned 'PPPink PPPink PPPink!!'
Finally, with many 'Pink' statements he made it to the door and knocked loudly, the door shouted back 'PINK PINK'
He waited a minute or two but no one answered the door. He decided it was best to go inside anway, they still needed to make a phone call. He grabbed the doorknob and turned it- it whispered softly 'ppinkkk'.
He shouted into the home 'Hello? Im just here to use your phone!'
When he looked around the home, once again everything was pink. Pink furniture, Pink carpeting, Pink drapes, Pink walls.
He figured the phone was in the kitchen so he walked in there, pink tile, pink cupboards, pink fridge, pink everything.
He heard his stomach growl and decided to steal some food, plus the phone call could wait. When he opened the pantry there sat Raisin Brand and Frosted Flakes. He chose the Frosted Flakes and ate it happily.

Back at the stranded car, the two brothers became angry, they both decided to search for their brother and for a phone. They walked for what seemed hours and soon discovered the giant pink house and figured their brother had gone there, as there was no other neighbors.

#18 - Long Disgusting Riddle

Andrew was absent from school for most of the days and thus the principal called him. He asked Andrew for an explanation to which Thomas replied the following:

I don't have enough to attend school. I must have eight hours of sleep every day and if added for 365 days, it makes 122 days in a year. We have weekends off adding to 104 days of the year. The summer holidays are roughly 60 days. I take an hour for each meal adding to 3 hours a day and 45 days a year. I must spend 2 hours every day for exercising and recreation to stay physically and mentally fit which adds up to 30 days in a year.

If you add all of them, you will get 361 days as the answer. So I am left with only 4 days to attend the school.

Though the principal knows that Andrew is messing with his head, he is unable to point where Andrew is going wrong. Can you tell how he is calculating in a wrong manner?

Long Disgusting Riddle

Fore mostly, Andrew is adding up a lot of double count7s. He is adding the time spent sleeping, eating and relaxing etc. separately while without deducting that time from the weekends and other holidays. Also, weekends occur is summer holidays as well. Thus these hours are being counted several times.

Another thing is that the school does not happen for 24 hours and thus the 4 days will count as 16 days of school even if a school commence for six hours.
